[edit] Personal life

Ivanović's mother Dragana, who is a lawyer, attends all of her daughter's matches. Her father, Miroslav, a self-employed businessman, attends as many events as he possibly can. Ana has a younger brother, Miloš, with whom she loves to play basketball.^[4] She chooses not to have a permanent coach.^[5] Aside from her tennis career, Ivanović also studies finance at a university in Belgrade and Spanish in her spare time.^[5] Her inspiration to begin playing was Monica Seles.^[6]

On September 8, 2007, Ivanović became a UNICEF National Ambassador for Serbia, alongside Aleksandar Đorđević and Emir Kusturica. She takes a special interest in the fields of education and child protection. Ivanović visited a primary school in Serbia during her inauguration and said: "I'm also looking forward to going into the classroom and meeting many kids."^[7]

Ivanović confirmed in November 2008 that she was romantically involved with Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco;^[8] however, it was reported that the relationship ended in January 2009.^[9][10] Ivanovic is currently dating Australian golfer Adam Scott.^[11][12]

[edit] Equipment

Ivanović endorsed Nike apparel and shoes at the beginning of her professional career,^[13] but at the beginning of 2006, she switched to rival Adidas.^[14] She started with the Wilson racquets, eventually using the nCode nBlade.^[15] Since the beginning of 2008, Ivanović has been using Yonex racquets, presently equipped with the RQiS 1 Tour XL.^[16]

[edit] Playing Style

Ivanovic is an offensive baseliner who is notable for her aggressive play. Ivanović's strength is her powerful forehand which has long been considered to be one of the best forehands in the game. Her backhand, although not as big of a weapon as her forehand, has improved over the years. Ivanović's serve is a powerful weapon, but can be unreliable due to her wayward ball toss. Ivanović's movement and net play were once considered to be her weaknesses, however both her movement and net play has improved tremendously over the years. Ivanović's best surface are clay courts where her height allows her to strike clean winners off of high bouncing balls, but she is capable of performing well on hard and grass courts as well. Her main weakness is considered to be her lack of confidence.

Ivanović picked up a racket at the age of five after watching Monica Seles, a fellow Yugoslavian, on television during the 1992 French Open. She started her career after memorizing the number of a local tennis clinic from an advertisement . During her training she encountered the NATO bombings in 1999, forcing her to train in the morning to avoid them. Later, she admitted that she trained in an abandoned swimming pool in the winter, as there were no other facilities. When she was 15, Ivanović spent four hours in the locker room crying after a defeat—the first that her new manager had watched—she thought that Dan Holzmann was going to drop her because she felt that she was not good enough to become a professional tennis player. He has stayed as her manager to this day.

[edit] 2004

Ivanović reached the final of the Junior Wimbledon tournament in 2004, losing to Kateryna Bondarenko. In 2004, she went 26–0 on the ITF circuit, and won all five events that she entered, two of them as a qualifier. Her first professional breakthrough occurred in October 2004 when she took Venus Williams to two tie breaks before losing 7–6(11), 7–6(6) in the second round of the Zürich Open in Zürich, Switzerland, in which she held several set points in both sets. She followed that up with a quarterfinal showing in Luxembourg the next week.

[edit] 2005

Ivanović won her first career singles title, as a qualifier, in Canberra, Australia. Her ranking continued to rise after wins over Svetlana Kuznetsova, Nadia Petrova, and Vera Zvonareva, all of whom were top 10 players. Ivanović lost to Amélie Mauresmo at the Australian Open, Doha, and Key Biscayne, Florida. However, Ivanović defeated Mauresmo in the third round of the French Open. Ivanović eventually reached the quarterfinals of that tournament, where she lost to Petrova. Later in the year, Ivanović reached the semifinals of the Zurich Open and Generali Ladies Linz, losing in both tournaments to Patty Schnyder.

[edit] 2006

Ivanović started the year at the Hopman Cup in Perth, Australia with fellow Serbian Novak Djoković, where the pair narrowly missed the final. To start off her WTA year she played at the Medibank International in Sydney where she once again defeated Amélie Mauresmo, this time in straight sets, before falling to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals.

At the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, Ivanović defeated Anna Chakvetadze 6–3, 6–3 before falling to Elena Dementieva in three sets. In the clay court season, she defeated Patty Schnyder in straight sets at the J & S Cup in Warsaw before losing to Anna Chakvetadze after a three-set battle. Retiring against Na Li at the Qatar Telecom German Open in Berlin while leading a set, she was unable to reproduce her record from the previous year, falling to Anastasia Myskina in straight sets in the third round of the French Open. She progressed to the fourth round at Wimbledon but lost to eventual champion Mauresmo in straight sets.

Ivanović made her breakthrough in August when she defeated former World No. 1 Martina Hingis in the final of the Rogers Cup in Montreal. This ultimately led to her winning the United States Open Series ahead of Kim Clijsters and Maria Sharapova. At the US Open she lost to Serena Williams. After some early round losses to Olga Poutchkova at the Wismilak International in Bali and Venus Williams at the FORTIS Championships in Luxembourg, Ivanović took a few weeks off to tend to a recurring injury in her right shoulder. She made her return in Linz and made it to the quarterfinals of Generali Ladies, before losing to Maria Sharapova in two sets. Finishing her year at the Gaz de France Stars in Hasselt, Belgium, she lost to Dutch player Michaëlla Krajicek.

Ivanović also played nine tournaments in doubles in 2006, teaming with Maria Kirilenko and Sania Mirza.

However, Ivanović injured her ankle during the final, which forced her to withdraw from the Tier I Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome. The win in Berlin propelled her into the top ten of the WTA Rankings for the first time, at World No. 8.

Ivanović had a six-match winning streak heading into the French Open and increased this streak to twelve by reaching the final. She won her first three matches with the loss of only nine games. In her second career quarterfinal at Roland Garros, Ivanović defeated World No. 3 Kuznetsova 6–0, 3–6, 6–1. She then beat World No. 2 Sharapova in the semifinals 6–2, 6–1.

Three-time winner Justine Henin, however, won the match in straight sets. Later on, Ivanović admitted that the idea of being in the final of a Grand Slam tournament overwhelmed her.^{[citation needed]}

At Wimbledon, Ivanović defeated World No. 9 Nadia Petrova in the fourth round and saved three match points to defeat Vaidišová in the quarterfinals 4–6, 6–2, 7–5.

• ¹ Win/loss record does not include walkovers.
• ² The WTA website erroneously omits Ivanović's three Fed Cup singles wins (all on carpet) during January-February 2008.^{[citation needed]} This is why this table shows three more wins in 2008, on carpet, and during her career than the WTA website.
